MobaLiveCD Updates and Adds USB Drive Support [Downloads]

Windows: Want to try out a flavor of Linux or other LiveCD-based tool without installation or even having to exit Windows? MobaLiveCD has updated to include support for both LiveCDs and bootable USB devices.
We introduced you to MobaLiveCD around this time last year—then, it only supported LiveCD disc images. Now you can use both LiveCD ISO files and bootable USB devices. In our tests we were able to boot a variety of Live USB installations like Ubuntu, GParted, and BackTrack.
Using MobaLiveCD is significantly slower than actually booting into the LiveCD/USB and notably slower than running the same LiveCD/USB in a virtual machine. Nonetheless, it’s free, an absolute breeze to use, and it allows you to rapidly check out a Linux distribution with very minimal hassle.
MobaLiveCD is freeware, Windows only.
Ubuntu Community Manager Responds to Our Wishlist [Lifehacker Wishlist]

We busted out our web soapbox earlier this week and detailed five features we want to see in Ubuntu. The Linux distribution’s community manager, Jono Bacon, wrote a thoughtful, informative response, which details and links what’s being done on a few of the fronts we considered crucial. Bacon explains and shows a screenshot of what’s happening with the Ubuntu Software Store (not pictured above, mind you), notes Ubuntu backer Canonical’s efforts in the design field, and writes that cloud-based backup, particularly Ubuntu One, is going to see “new and exciting development” in the next six months. He also points to some video editors “on the horizon,” which are promising, if still not quite average-user-friendly yet.
Update: Jono’s blog appears to have taken a hit from our link (sorry, Jono!), but Linux.com has a mirror post with the full text, and Google has it cached. Thanks for the links, SunitPolecat and Helen McGee!
FSF-approved Trisquel Linux shows free software can stand on its own merits

Getting on the Free Software Foundation’s page of acceptable Linux distros isn’t the easiest task in the world. Stallman and Co. have very particular requirements about what can and can’t be included. A first glance at the page might put you off — there aren’t any big name distros like Ubuntu, Suse, or Fedora.
Trisquel, however, is definitely worth a closer look. It’s Ubuntu-based and ships with an excellent (and familiar) group of core apps – Firefox, Evolution, Pidgin, Transmission, OpenOffice, GIMP, Brasero, and several others – Elisa media center is even included. A liveUSB disk creator is also provided so you can easily roll your own portable Trisquel remaster. As per the FSF mandate, everything in the ISO is 100% free.
The distribution just reached version 3.0. A light version is also in the works and is set to drop in a few days. It will feature the XFCE desktop environment and lightweight apps like Epiphany, Sylpheed, and Abiword.
Even if you’re not an adamant FOSS advocate, Trisquel is a solid Linux distribution and well worth taking for a test drive.

How To Limit CPU Usage Of A Process With cpulimit (Debian/Ubuntu)

How To Limit CPU Usage Of A Process With cpulimit (Debian/Ubuntu)
This tutorial shows how you can limit the CPU usage of a process with the tool cpulimit
on Debian/Ubuntu. cpulimit is a simple program that attempts to limit
the CPU usage of a process (expressed in percentage, not in cpu time).
This is useful to control batch jobs, when you don’t want them to eat
too much CPU. It does not act on the nice value or other scheduling
priority stuff, but on the real CPU usage. Also, it is able to adapt
itself to the overall system load, dynamically and quickly.
HOWTO : Create a FTP server with user access (proftpd)
Uncategorized September 10th, 2009 by Shai Perednik
Great post on how to setup proftpd with security.
Only down side is the normal Ubuntu apt repository has proftd 1.3.1 which has a TLS/SSL bug that allows uploading, but doesn’t give a directory listing.
So, my solution was to add the debian sid repo
and then do:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install proftpd-dev
This installed proftpd 1.3.2a which as of today is the stable release. TSL/SSL works as expected.

Amazon Kindle 2 Hacked to Run Linux [Kindle]

Hacker Jesse Vincent, who’s previously written software to allow PDFs and ePubs to be read on the Kindle, wheedled and cajoled the Kindle 2 into running Ubuntu 9.04. You know, just because.
Vincent called it “a lovely little Linux box” when showing it off at geekfest Foo Camp last weekend. We’re not really sure what the practical applications of a Linux Kindle would be, but it’s an impressive proof of concept for sure. [Boing Boing Gadgets]
Repair Damaged Drives With Linux

When you’re used to the world of Windows or OS X, Linux can seem a little unforgiving. Not only does command-line access hand over the complete keys to the manor to any unwitting user with access to the administrator’s account, there’s rarely a safety net should things go wrong. Despite advances in most Linux desktops (where the ubiquitous Trashcan safely buffers deleted files), you get no such protection from most system-specific configuration, installation and maintenance tools. And while it’s rare for anything to go wrong without your direct input, some accidents do happen, especially if you enjoy tinkering with the latest distro release each month. But this being Linux, there’s plenty you can do to dig yourself out of a hole, which is why it’s always a good idea to have a repair-worthy distribution close to hand when performing configuration and installation tasks.
One of the best developments in recent years has been the Live CD. These offer a fully functional Linux installation that runs from an optical drive. If you’ve got enough memory, you can even install new packages to the RAM disk just as you would when completing a standard installation. This makes a recent release of a Live CD-based installer like Ubuntu Jaunty the perfect system recovery tool. Not only does it include every package you might require, but because it runs from the optical drive rather than the hard drive, your data isn’t touched and there’s no chance files will be overwritten without direct input. It’s the obvious place to start when you get stuck.
Booting Linux
Probably the most common problem is when the Linux boot menu disappears or gets corrupted. The most likely reason for this is that a shared Windows installation has re-stamped its authority over your disk’s master boot record, overwriting the Grub boot loader with its own system-launching code. In these cases, you need to boot into a different Linux environment, either off a Live CD or from any other Linux booting media you can get hold of. The distribution you choose will also need to have Grub installed.
